DS4424:Two-/Four-Channel, I²C, 7-Bit Sink/Source Current DAC

Low-Cost, Sink/Source Current DACs Simplify Power-Supply Margin Testing

The DS4422 and DS4424 contain two or four I²C programmable current DACs that are each capable of sinking and sourcing current up to 200μA. Each DAC output has 127 sink and 127 source settings that are programmed using the I²C interface. The current DAC outputs power up in a high-impedance state.

Key Features
  • Two (DS4422) or Four (DS4424) Current DACs
  • Full-Scale Current 50µA to 200µA
  • Full-Scale Range for Each DAC Determined by External Resistors
  • 127 Settings Each for Sink and Source Modes
  • I²C-Compatible Serial Interface
  • Two Address Input Pins Allow Four Devices on Same I²C Bus
  • Low Cost
  • Small Package (14-Pin, 3mm x 3mm TDFN)
  • -40°C to +85°C Temperature Range
  • 2.7V to 5.5V Operating Range
